Dear John
I regret to inform you that you have been eliminated from further contention as Mr Right.
As you are aware, the competition criteria was exceedingly difficult and many well-qualified candidates such as yourself also failed to make the final cut.
In order that you may find better success in your future romantic endeavours, please allow me to offer the following feedback.
→ Your last name is objectionable. I can’t imagine taking it, hyphenating it, or subjecting children to it.
→ Your first name is objectionable. It’s just not something I can picture myself yelling out in a fit of passion.
→ The fact that our dining experiences, to-date, has left my wallet a little lighter and your pants a little tighter.
→ Your constant calls/ text messaging/ e-mailing indicates that you have too much time on your hands.
→ Your legs are skinnier than mine.
→ The phrase “My Mother” has popped up far too often in conversation and I strongly suspect, at the ripe ol’ age of 36, you are still in fact dwelling with your parents.
→ Your ability to belch the alphabet is not a trait that I am seeking in a long-term partner.
→ Your height is out of proportion to your weight. If you should, however, happen to gain the necessary 17 vertical inches, you may re-submit your application.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in the position.
Yours sincerely
